The "Valor" is superbly manoeuvrable and truly FUN - it will turn on a dime in the air or on the ground. It's very light on the nose-wheel, enabling it to land and take off like a tail-dragger - without all the fancy footwork! Cross-wind capability is quite high. Cruise speed is a genuine 85-90kts, (a true 100 + mph aircraft), with a top cruise speed of 106kts / 122 MPH, and a VNe of 120Kts/ 137 MPH. <br /> <br />When you experience the space inside, you'll realize just how cramped the competitors aircraft truly are. The view out of the A22 Valor makes even a helicopter seem claustrophobic and works well for photography as the doors can easily be removed which makes for spectacular photos! <br /> <br />Specifications <br /> <br />Powerplant 80 hp Rotax-912 (100hp 912S option) <br /> <br /> <br />Length, m/ft 6.1/20 <br />Height, m/ft 2.4/7.9 <br />Wingspan, m/ft 10.1/33.2 <br />Wing area, sq. m/sq. ft 13.9/150 <br />Wing loading 6.6 lbs per sq. ft <br />Power loading 10 lbs per hp <br />Seats 2 <br />Cabin length m/inches 1.6/61.2 inches <br />Cabin width m/inches 1.3/50.4 inches <br />Cabin height m/inches 1.1/46.8 inches <br />Empty weight, kg/lb 260/575* <br />Max.
